The reason I am asking is I have AEM CAI, DC JDM Header, Carsound Cat, Apexi N1 exhuast, and Chipped p28 ecu and was planning on getting the cams next. I know I need springs and retainers and some cam gears but besides that will these cams be beneficial for me. Will they give me some decent power gains for just having a stock bottom end?

 

gains will be minimal since u are on stock compression. those cams high compression

 

would it be possible to reach the 200whp mark with the stock itr bottom end?
-I thought I saw somebody on here that made 197whp!!

 

with skunk2 stage 2 cams, 96 JDM ITR motor, dc 4-1 header, skunk2 valve train, skunk2 ecu, skunk2 exhaust, VAFC, AEM cam gears, MSD, AEM CAI, and dyno tuning, I made 186 hp and 121 tq. i was disappointed, so i bought JDM dc 4-1 headers, and a carsound cat. I will be buying J's intake, then will dyno later.. My car does haul *** tho...

 

With what compression?

yea MPH made 197 with stage ones. i dont remember his mods, but i remember that he didnt have alot. just a freak motor and good tuning i guess

 

im running 11.3 compression ratio... and hitting 210-220 in all cylinders (compression test)

 

would it be better for me to run the stageI cams than the stageII with the setup I have or should I go ahead with stageII.

 

if u plan on staying with the stock bottom end, then just stick with the stage1

 

Most big cams (toda B's, Jun 3's and Skunk Stage II's) require a higher compression...and 10.6 isn't considered high compression for a tuned motor.

 

I'm making 203hp and 133tq with mine. I'm running 96 JDM B18c(r), SMS header, IHE, and small extras here and there.
